THANKSGIVINC.
> * Tremendous God of battles, Lord of Hosts I I To Thee—To Thee— . J : On this appointed day shall thanks ascend, That Thou has brought our warfare to an end, ' And- that we need no second Victory J i ~+ . + + + + Bless Thou the hour, or ere the hour arrive, | When a whole people shall kneel down in prayer, | .And, at one moment, in one rapture, strive !i With lip and heart to tell their gratitude | . For Thy protecting care. .. 1 Their solemn joy—praising the For tyranny subdued, And for the sway of equity renewed, For liberty confirmed, and peace restored. .' +++ + + " | Preserve, 0 Lord, within our hearts | ■' \ The memory of Thy favour,. | That' else insensibly departs, ' | And loses its sweet savour! | ■ Lodge it within us!—as the power of light | Lives inexhaustibly in precious gems, | Fixed on the front of eastern diadems, j So shine our thankfulness for ever bright! | — Wordsworth. jJJ
